Shakespeare, Seinfeld, and.......me

The Bard of Avon had his “Much Ado about Nothing”; and George tried to sell a TV network a show about ‘Nothing”. Well, sometimes your loyal blogger has the same experience. Like so far this week, I got Nothing. No thrilling meal at a 5 star to record, no “Whaddya gonna have, Hon?” experiences, no unique foodie happenings, Nothing.

Any thought of food related things was eclipsed for the past couple of days because I was: a) running around helping set up a golf tournament (tomorrow) for a local civic organization, and b) a bad case of heat ennui. Is it ever going to end? Tourney, yes, heat apparently not.

So, the question becomes do you try to write about nothing?, or just shut up and wait for another day? (or, days?)

Such is the case this morning, so instead of babbling just to be writing, maybe we’ll leave with just a little thought that occurred to me.

Cooking has its Holy Trinity (an exercise left to the reader), and I think we should have a Holy Trinity of Signage in St. Mary’s County: “Coming Soon; Now Hiring; and Opening Soon”. Our blooming Red Robin is in their second stage of the Trinity, announcing they are “Now Hiring Fun People”. Wonder if your food will be created by somebody with a clown nose. I would be happier if they were hiring “competent people”.

Stay cool and continue to seasonally
